END OF SEASON AND SHUTDOWN MAINTAINANCE
To begin End of Season Shutdown of your HEATMOR™ Outdoor Furnace, follow the
instructions below:
1. Turn off pump(s).
2. Clean Flue (Refer to the “Flue” section of the HEATMOR™ Operations and Mainte-
nance Manual.)
a) Remove Flue Cover(s)
b) Using the ue scraper provided with the HEATMOR™ furnace, push the dust
to the front of the ue and let it fall down into the rebox. Remove this dust as you would
ashes. If a lot of dust is dropped down, be certain that the air slot of the front air box is not
covered. If there is a two pass ue, clean the top ue through the ue access ports.
c) Re-attach the ue cover plate(s), making sure to tighten the nuts to make an
airtight seal.
3. Clean ashes out of Firebox. (Refer to the “Ashes” section of the HEATMOR™ Opera-
tions and Maintenance Manual.)
a) Thoroughly pull ashes from sides and corners of Firebox. Rake ashes in Fire-
box down into the grates.
4. Auger ashes out of Ash Pan. (Refer to the “Ashes” section of the HEATMOR™ Opera-
tions and Maintenance Manual.)
5. Place cap on Chimney. There is no specic product sold for this use, but a ve gallon
bucket or something similar will cover the chimney keeping unwanted moisture and
visitors away.
6. Properly clean and oil Fan(s). (Refer to the “Air Supply” section of the HEATMOR™
Operations and Maintenance Manual.)
a) Turn off the main power supply to the furnace.
b) Loosen and remove the two thumb nuts securing the blower / ipper assembly
to the large air tube, and remove the blower / ipper assembly.
c) Lubricate the blower motor every six months with 10 to 20 drops of SAE 10W
or 20W non-detergent oil (ML Type) or with electric motor oil in the appropriate oil holes.
The oil holes are on the bottom of the blower.
d) With a small brush, scrape any dust or residue that has accumulated on the
ns of the blower.
e) With a scraper or brush, remove any residue built up on the ipper assembly.
f) Ensure the ipper is resting completely on its seat. If it is not resting completely,
perhaps there is dust or soot built up on the ipper, or some other obstruction not allowing it
to close tightly.
g) Replace rebox door elbows every other season. If you did not change your
re door elbows last year, it is strongly suggested to change them following the steps on
page 40.
h) Securely fasten the blower / ipper assembly back to the large air tube ensur-
ing there are no air leaks.
7. Check PH level of your system water. Your PH level should be between 8 and 10.
(Refer to the “Water” section in the HEATMOR™ Operations and Maintenance
Manual.)
